Thoughts to Wrap Up 2013

I don't know if you all remember, but I wrote a blog post at the beginning of 2013 of things I wanted to accomplish this year. Just so you don't have to go looking for it, I'll put the list here.

1. I want to go to a baseball game (doesn't matter if it's in Indianapolis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, etc. but it will happen.)
2. I want to go to a concert (Company of Thieves is coming to Bloomington this month. Weather permitting, I really want to attend.)
3. I want to visit my sister more (she's getting married! I need to help her plan this wedding!)
4. I want to get up earlier (sleeping in feels like you're wasting the day away.)
5. I want to pay more attention to my cat (and not by means of hacking off her fur...)
6. I want to open a savings account to start saving for moving to Florida.
7. If a movie comes to the theaters that I want to see, I will go see it! I don't need someone to go with me!
8. I want to get all A's in my classes, for the entire year. This includes spring, summer I, summer II, and fall. It can happen!
9. I want to be able to dance. Maybe that means white girl dancing, but I want to be able to dance when out with my friends and not care how I look.
10. I want to visit my friends more. You live in Michigan? Let me drive to Michigan. You live in Massachusetts? Fly to me. (haha) You live in Florida? I'll move in with you. I'm really bad at staying in touch with friends AND THIS MUST IMPROVE.

So, did I accomplish these things?

1. Nope. I did not go to a baseball game. Did I go to any sports games this year? I can't remember. If you went to one with me, please let me know. 
2. I did! I saw Macklemore AND IT WAS AWESOME! 
3. Did I visit her more this year than last year? Not sure. 
4. Unfortunately, this was true. I subbed a LOT and that means starting work at 7:30 am. No sleeping in with such a job. 
5. I think I did. She certainly likes me more now that my little sister has gone away to college. SUCCESS. 
6. Nope. No savings account. 
7. I'm pretty sure I've kept up with this. There were very few movies I wanted to see this year that I didn't go see. I'm holding out on 2 right now, but I have definite plans to see one. The other will have to wait a bit longer. 
8. Nope. Such is life. 
9. I seriously made this part of my list? LOLOLOLOLOL. No. There are no further dancing skills. If anything, I've gotten worse. Did I dance more this year than 2012? Probably yes. 
10. Umm...I went to Florida a lot this year. And I did go to California with three of my best lady friends :) I didn't make it up to Michigan (I really am sorry about this, but I hope to see you at least once in 2014.) I think overall I did a decent job of staying in better contact with people. Not spectacular, but better than years past. 

I'm not making another list quite just yet. I'll get a feel for the year first. Maybe next week. OR NEVER.
